Framing: Online Privacy
1. Everyone complains about their lack of privacy online, so it seems. 1) Should we just accept that there are some lines of privacy that will inevitably be crossed online? 2) Assuming people are smart enough not to share personal details, do we really care about our movie and music preferences being seen by strangers?
2. What are the privacy issues outside of the world of social networking? The majority of discussion seems to be about Facebook and similar technologies, but what about other sites?
3. As students, we’re encouraged to maintain a clean Facebook page with no party pictures or other evidence of debauchery. Do potential employers have a right to investigate the people they are hiring through sites like Facebook.
